Assorted Announcementy Stuff, PLEASE TO BE READING!
First off! We warned all of you with cadet types a while back that there are a few surprise hell weekends over the course of the year, and that we'd always give you a week's warning on them so as to not screw up your plans. Here's your warning! A week from tomorrow the cadets will be awakened around 4:30am and instead of being rousted out for the normal Saturday morning run, they will be told to report to stores for full packs and will be dragged out for a wonderful weekend of non-stop training. This will involve a nice long run to start and setting up camp at the end of it. More details will be forthcoming, but please remember that the characters Do Not Know about this, it will be a surprise for them...so go ahead and let them make some plans to get completely screwed up by it. ;)
Next order of business! Figured everyone would like some advance warning on when Spring Break is, as its approach will probably be a topic of conversation as plans are made. All students, from elementary through college, will have the first full week in April off, which is the 4th through the 8th. Cadets have already been informed that they will not get the full week off; they'll be participating in a scheduled long weekend of training/war games and won't be released for break until Tuesday morning. Oh, and as fair warning, April first will be the last Friday of classes before break. ;)
